Ender 5 tool caddies...Updated

thingiverse

After using my Ender 5, I discovered a significant amount of space within the frame for tool storage. To utilize this space efficiently, I designed a caddy to snap onto the 40mm aluminum frame on the left rear. Initially, it was about 70mm in each dimension but I extended the forward dimension of this one to approximately 90mm. The back of the unit is 70mm tall and slopes down to 50mm at the front. The optional insert fits into the rear storage compartment and is designed specifically for holding the Harbor Freight 12pc needle file set without handles. Be cautious not to allow taller tools to lean over into the bed work area. I utilized the Ender 5 tool clip from this link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3361395. I've found that it provides a perfect, snap tight fit. I have used all of his clip designs and highly recommend them. The caddy was designed in SketchUp with approximately 2mm walls and floor. I combined my caddy design with the tool clip in Tinkercad. It was sliced using Cura with 20% infill. You can get away with less, as it is a very strong print. Lay it down flat like it would sit in reality. Update: I added the needle file insert to the caddy. The insert was printed lying on its side with support just to ensure that the holes were printed correctly, although they may not be needed. I used .16 resolution on the insert but your preferred settings should work as well. I did have to file out the holes a bit but it worked out great in the end. Included OBJ and STL files, which are identical. Update 2: I added a tall, narrow caddy that is designed to snap onto the front left vertical brace and sits along the left side of the machine. This unit is 45mm wide, 100mm long, and 80mm tall. Its just a simple empty box but I am working on inserts to hold various tools, different files, and carving tools, etc. Open to ideas. Print this thing standing upright like it would sit in use. Tinkercad has some great qualities but it is not suitable for exporting images of a model. Again, your preferred settings should work; I used the same settings as the other caddy but with 15% infill. I am still working on this design and currently have a couple of other caddies with different dimensions that snap onto the Ender 5 frame to post soon. They can be customized for any 40mm extruded aluminum frame but I am ensuring that they work on Ender 5 without getting in the way of anything. I welcome ideas and suggestions!
